Ziqo Brings Art and Social Awareness to Maputo's Neighborhoods in a Campaign Against Gender-Based Violence

From September 1st to November 30th, the neighborhoods of Maputo will receive much more than music: they will host... reflection, dialogue and social action, in an initiative led by the Mozambican artist Ziqo, which combines its art with the fight against Gender-based violence (GBV).

Known for his significant contribution to the success of the Pandza genre, Ziqo is now taking a step beyond music, putting his influence at the service of an urgent cause. With the motto of “exchanging ideas with the young people who make the city thrive.”The singer aims to create safe spaces for conversation and sharing with communities, especially young people, encouraging critical thinking and... Mobilization against all forms of gender-based violence..

To enrich these community sessions, the artist will be joined by two distinguished guests:

  • 👨🏽‍🏫 Julio Langa, anthropologist;
  • 👨🏽‍🏫 Alberto Cumbi, sociologist.

Both will contribute to educational and cultural approaches, providing a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of gender-based violence in Mozambique.

“Let’s talk, reflect, and act together,” Ziqo stated on social media, appealing for the direct involvement of young people in building a more just and safe society for all.

The campaign schedule includes regular visits to various neighborhoods in Maputo, with prior communication at each location, thus ensuring the organization and active participation of local communities.

This project reinforces the transformative role of art and the artist in society. By combining entertainment and education, Ziqo shows that music can be much more than rhythm: it can be an instrument of change.
